James Baker Campaign Quotations

We wouldn't be in this position if the Gore campaign had been willing to accept the results of the recount in Florida, ... They want these recounts to be in counties where they have these large margins. We don't think that's fair.

The Gore campaign has refused to achieve finality unless they achieve the result they are seeking,

The Gore campaign is asking for a third recount here. We can go into Wisconsin, we can go into Iowa and start recounting,

The Gore campaign ought to agree with us that we will go with the automatic recount, ... They should say, 'OK, we will stop all these shenanigans. We will stop calling for recounts.'

The Gore campaign strategy is crystal clear, ... Keep conducting selective recounts. Keep filing selective lawsuits, keep making false charges that divert attention, and keep refusing to accept any deadline until the results change.
